Prokrastination von sportlichen Aktivitäten

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1026/1612-5010/a000162

Zusammenfassung. Die Rolle von Prokrastination, dem unnötigen Aufschieben von intendierten Tätigkeiten wider besseren Wissens, ist bisher noch nicht für die Domäne Sport untersucht worden. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es daher, den Zusammenhang zwischen Prokrastination und dem wöchentlichen Sporttreiben zu untersuchen. In einer Onlinestudie mit 167 Sportstudierenden (92 Frauen; Durchschnittsalter = 21 Jahre) wurden dazu die allgemeine sowie die sportspezifische Prokrastination in Relation zu den Persönlichkeitsvariablen Gewissenhaftigkeit und Neurotizismus, der volitionalen Variable Handlungskontrolle, der motivationalen Variable Selbstwirksamkeit im Sport sowie der Häufigkeit sportlicher Aktivitäten untersucht. Die Ergebnisse der Korrelations-, Regressions- und Mediationsanalysen zeigen, dass Prokrastination auch für sportliche Akvtivitäten ein ernst zu nehmendes Phänomen sein kann. Darüber hinaus ermutigen sie zur Entwicklung einer sportspezifischen Prokrastinationsskala.


„No, I Did Not Exercise“: The Role of Procrastination in Sports and Exercise

Abstract. Procrastination, the needless delay of intended activities despite expecting to be worse off for the delay, has not been investigated for sport activities. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between procrastination and weekly physical exercise. In an online study including 167 students majoring in sports (92 female; average age = 21 years), general procrastination and sport-specific procrastination were investigated by comparing their relations to the following variables: the personality variables conscientiousness and neuroticism, the volitional variable action control, the motivational variable sport-specific self-efficacy, and the frequency of exercise per week. The results of correlation, regression, and mediation analyses show that procrastination of regular physical exercise can be a serious phenomenon. Moreover, they indicate that the development of a sport-specific procrastination scale is reasonable.
